When Ho Fei-yu left the changing room, he saw the two girls chatting. Since their voices were not loud, he couldn't hear the specifics.
However, he could see a look of admiration on Yui Nakaizumi's moe profile, while Shiori Fuyutsuki's expression hadn't changed, still maintaining an tsundere look.
Because Shiori Fuyutsuki was standing behind the cashier counter, she saw Ho Fei-yu emerge from the changing room. She quickly gave a meaningful look to the incessantly talking Yui Nakaizumi. Normally, Yui Nakaizumi would have understood her best friend's glance, but today, for some reason, she just kept talking.
Ho Fei-yu slowly walked towards them. Initially, a shelf blocked part of his view, and he could only see Yui Nakaizumi's upper body. As he walked out of the blind spot, he instantly saw Yui Nakaizumi's lower body. Because her skirt was very short, and she was leaning forward with her knees resting on the counter, her buttocks were raised, allowing him to clearly see her pink panties and her alluring, pale buttocks.
"Manager... I..." Ho Fei-yu only glanced three or four times before quickly looking away. He walked straight up to them without looking back. Only then did Yui Nakaizumi realize what had happened. She scrambled to stand up, nearly losing her balance. Fortunately, Ho Fei-yu was quick and caught her, using a gentleman's hand for support.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm... I'm... fine." Although Ho Fei-yu used a gentleman's hand, some contact was unavoidable. The intense heat from his body was transmitted to Yui Nakaizumi through her thin uniform. She felt a surge of warmth rush through her delicate body and, for a moment, didn't get up from Ho Fei-yu's assistance.
"Yui-chan, what are you spacing out for?" Shiori Fuyutsuki, inside the counter, couldn't watch anymore. When her best friend was alone with her, she often talked about wanting a boyfriend and doing some daring things, but seeing her friend's pure reaction now was amusing. She quickly leaned forward and pulled her best friend out.
Shiori Fuyutsuki didn't call Ho Fei-yu a pervert this time. She had clearly seen his gentleman's hand and her purple-brown eyes held a hint of approval.
"I'm sorry!" After breaking free from Ho Fei-yu's support, Yui Nakaizumi realized her earlier lapse in manners and prepared to bow in apology to Ho Fei-yu.
"It's a small thing. By the way, be careful..." Ho Fei-yu didn't let Yui Nakaizumi bow. He didn't want anyone else to catch a glimpse of the pink panties. He quickly used vivid gestures to remind the moe girl in front of him.
"Ah!" Girls in the inner dimension may lose some intelligence when dealing with blondes, but otherwise, they are usually like normal anime heroines. She naturally understood what Ho Fei-yu was gesturing. She quickly clutched her skirt over her butt, her face flushed crimson, and steam seemed to be rising from her head.
"Hmph! Pervert!"
"..." Although Shiori Fuyutsuki knew Ho Fei-yu was giving a kind warning, she couldn't help but be tsundere.
"Damn it!" In the secret base, Yoshihiro Shimoda was watching the scene through the store's surveillance camera. He clenched his fists tightly. He was about to forcefully slam his hands on the table to vent his frustration, but thinking the sound would be too loud, and Ho Fei-yu would ask him to go out and attend to customers, preventing him from leisurely slacking off, he lowered his raised hand and cursed under his breath.
"These damn JK bitches. They weren't like this when I was the manager. Just because a guy who's slightly handsomer and thinner than me takes over, they start being so attentive."
"Let's see if you'll still be like this when I'm sitting on you like a crow on an airplane!"
"Heh heh, looks like I have to move tonight." Yoshihiro Shimoda cursed viciously under his breath, then displayed a lecherous smile. His greasy large hand pulled open a drawer, revealing three small surveillance cameras inside.
Throughout the afternoon, Ho Fei-yu had become acquainted with the two girls.
Yui Nakaizumi, who had initially been shy because of the earlier incident, was completely at ease when talking to Ho Fei-yu now, acting as if nothing embarrassing had happened. Ho Fei-yu couldn't help but admire this somewhat goofy girl.
Shiori Fuyutsuki was also less tsundere. Through Yui Nakaizumi, who was a big mouth, and his vague memories of the anime, Ho Fei-yu knew that this tsundere girl was actually a person with strong self-esteem.
Because of her schooling, Shiori Fuyutsuki had been boarding at Yui Nakaizumi's house for a long time. Although Yui Nakaizumi and her mother treated Shiori Fuyutsuki like family, the girl's sensitive and self-reliant nature didn't allow her to accept it so readily. So, she often helped with chores and only ate food that was within reach or not too expensive.
Both girls, like Ho Fei-yu, were aspiring high school students. They both passed the entrance exam to Seika Women's Academy. However, Yui Nakaizumi got in by paying a large fee, while Shiori Fuyutsuki got in through merit. It was said that getting in cost her mother nearly a decade's worth of savings. Fortunately, they didn't have a mortgage, as the house was left by her grandparents.
That's why the two girls were working: partly to help with household expenses and partly for living expenses.
Ho Fei-yu listened to their story and quite admired the two girls. They knew how to be self-reliant and share the burden with their family. Wasn't this much better than some of the spoiled girls in Ho Fei-yu's past life?
For example, a girlfriend complained that her boyfriend treated her to a 200 meal from his 800 monthly salary, posted a short video about it, and the comment section was full of advice telling her to break up with him, saying he was stingy. Some even said she should mercilessly exploit the simp's wallet and then go find a rich man.
That kind of mindset made Ho Fei-yu sick at the time. Of course, this might only be prevalent in short videos, but it still showed the extent to which some people's values were warped.
These two girls deserved to be saved, to strive for the life they aspired to, instead of becoming rag dolls to be wantonly manipulated.
Therefore, NTR must die.
When the three were free, they chatted. When customers came, they worked diligently. The atmosphere among them was quite harmonious.
The sky gradually darkened, and the streetlights outside lit up.
"Fei-yu-kun, it's time to clock out." Yui Nakaizumi reminded Ho Fei-yu with expectation in her brown eyes. All three had agreed to call each other by their first names.
"Already?" Ho Fei-yu murmured. He had developed a liking for the two girls and felt a little reluctant to leave.
Of course, it wasn't love yet. After all, poro faces generally look alike. If they were fully exposed, almost no one could tell them apart.
Except for experienced drivers, of course.
"Heh heh, Manager, here are the keys to the convenience store. Please take them." Just then, a disgusting voice came from behind the curtain of the cashier counter. It was undoubtedly Yoshihiro Shimoda, who had been slacking off all afternoon.
"Oh." Ho Fei-yu turned around when he heard the voice and looked at him. He saw him fumbling for something in his pants pocket with his greasy hands. His hands were too large, causing a momentary snag, and a white mark was left on his greasy hands where the fabric stretched.
Yoshihiro Shimoda was embarrassed to see all three of them watching him. His hand, clutching the keys, couldn't easily pull them out. He struggled hard, and finally, with a "rip" sound, his pocket tore open, clearly revealing his pink underwear inside. He looked up, saw the disgusted expressions on all three faces, and quickly lowered his head. With one hand covering the exposed underwear, he handed the keys to Ho Fei-yu with the other.
Ho Fei-yu took out a piece of paper, signaling Yoshihiro Shimoda to place the keys on it, because he thought he saw a layer of grease scraping off Yoshihiro Shimoda's hand.
Indeed, when the keys landed on the paper, the area around the keys discolored the white paper. Ho Fei-yu quickly used several more sheets of paper to wipe them clean.
Yoshihiro Shimoda naturally saw this. His face flushed, and he quickly lowered his head again, but savagery flashed in his bean-sized eyes. His teeth were clenched, and his fat face trembled slightly.
If Yoshihiro Shimoda were a good person, or even a normal person, Ho Fei-yu would never have humiliated him like this in front of him. But he had no choice. He was an NTR, after all.
"Heh heh, Manager, you can all leave first. I'll close up." When Yoshihiro Shimoda looked up again, he was back to his smiling, fawning self, even saying something nice for their benefit. If Ho Fei-yu hadn't been aware of this kind of person's small schemes, he would have been touched, like the kind and gentle male protagonists in inner dimension anime who would even develop a favorable impression. Little did he know that this was a common trick used by NTR types.
The weasel giving his greetings to the chicken?
With bad intentions!
"Then, thank you for your hard work, Employee Yoshihiro Shimoda~" Although Ho Fei-yu was verbally thanking Yoshihiro Shimoda, he was actually teasing him. The word "Employee" was a profound insult to Yoshihiro Shimoda.
"Heh heh, no problem." Although Yoshihiro Shimoda really wanted to rush over and punch Ho Fei-yu several times, he held back his anger, thinking of his plan for later.
Once I have leverage over them, I'll teach you a good lesson, you annoying little brat, before I leave.
Ho Fei-yu didn't say much else. After the two girls changed their clothes, he also changed his.
He knew Yoshihiro Shimoda was going to make his move tonight.
The three of them walked out of the convenience store under Yoshihiro Shimoda's fawning gaze.
"Fei-yu-kun, which way are you going?" Yui Nakaizumi looked at Ho Fei-yu with anticipation in her brown eyes.
"This way."
"Yay! ヽ(≧▽≦)ノ We're going the same way!" Ho Fei-yu pointed in one direction, and he didn't expect Yui Nakaizumi to react so strongly. Could it be...
He immediately checked Yui Nakaizumi's affection level. It was already at 72, the liking level. He checked Shiori Fuyutsuki's affection level, which was exactly 60, the favorable impression level.
In his past life, Ho Fei-yu was just an ordinary person, with average looks. He was unremarkable. His looks were decent in this life, whether due to exercise or the System.
Wait, doesn't the inner dimension usually care about the size of the beef? Why is it also caring about looks now?
Shiori Fuyutsuki felt a little speechless at her best friend's behavior. She knew Yui-chan wanted a boyfriend and was a bit boy-crazy, but she didn't expect her to actually meet someone like this. However, she heard that Seika Women's Academy didn't allow boyfriends. She needed to remind her best friend to be careful not to make a mistake and to cherish the opportunity to study at Seika Women's Academy.
After all, the students there were either rich or daughters of powerful families. Associating with those people would benefit their future. That was why Auntie Mao had spent so much money and used connections to get Yui Nakaizumi enrolled.
